Hautvuori, Bronze Age hillfort in Laitila, Finland

The Hautvuori archaeological site rises 30 meters above the surrounding landscape, featuring an irregular stone wall spanning 22 meters along its western slope.

Archaeological excavations in 1886 and 1903 uncovered ceramic artifacts with textile imprints and patterned bands, indicating settlement during the early metal period.

The site contains multiple caves within rock fissures that reveal information about ancient settlement patterns and defensive strategies in prehistoric Finland.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through marked paths from the nearby road, located 4.9 kilometers southeast of Laitila church.

Recent excavations in 2015 discovered a prehistoric grinding stone in one of the caves, adding to the collection of artifacts from this elevated fortification.
